    (I wasn't sure if this went in this form or D/P but whatever.)

    Personally, I got a male Kirlia, a lower-level Magneton, I hatched a new female Snorunt, got the lowest-level Dusclops possible, a female Roselia, and a new Nosepass, all to evolve. What did you do?
     
    Actually, when I train, this is what's on my mind. Because you can transfer the Pokes to D/P, I've been attempting to get a team of killer Steel Pokes with amazing IVs, fully EV trained, maybe to level 50 so I'm not too far ahead. Besides that, no preperations otherwise, because I'm sure that many of the Pokes that have new evolutions will be available in-game in D/P. So it takes away from the hunt if you just transfer them.

    Oh, and I played the crappy Pokemon Ranger, which gave me a sore wrist, just for the Manaphy egg. That's devotion, my friend. ;-)
     
    <Cracks Fingers>

    I just got done transfering all my good pokes - around <50> + around <30>Dittos all with different Natures and a Max IV in each Stat (for breeeding purposes) / <150> Rare Candies + All my TM's to XD so i could start over Emerald this time with Mudkip as my starter.

    I haven't played it since around Thanksgiving and i thought a run through would get me back into the swing of things for Pearl when it finally lands in my Filthy Hands. I'm planning on running a Sandstream team based around a Newly Devastating 'Dragon Dance' Tyranitar. Now that Crunch is physical + Lowers Def this things gonna be a killer. Add into that all the Element-Fang Possibilities and he can specialize to cover something you're team is missing. He will own in the 4th gen. <in my opinion>

    I tried running a similar team last year but with no Jirachi i was sorely missing a good Special Sweeper immune to SandStorm. All that's been rectified with Lucario and although i usually frown upon using the new "kewl" Pokemon of the generation he just fits my T/S/S team to well to pass up on.

    With just these 2 pokes you can build an awesome team. Drop in a Gaburaisu maybe Choice Banding and I'm getting all worked up just writing this team down on paper. I can't wait to get my hands on Pearl. :classic:

    So i guess to answer the question i'll be training up an Tyranitar Egg <Larvitar> 'Adament' with 31 IV's in HP / Att / Spd :and: 20+ Def / SDef. But that's after i beat Emerald again and right now i'm about to fight the first Gym Leader with a <Lv.13> Mudkip / <Lv.12> Ralts / <Lv.12> Shroomish / <Lv.12> Swellow / <Lv.11> Zigzagoon - i forgot how fun it was to play with pokes that are this low a level. The beginning of these games are always my favorite part. About 1/2 through all the games your pokes get too strong and break the gameplay. But for now i'm loving this.
     
    I've moved everyone from LG, S, XD, and C over to E, and started LG over to get a Charmander / more rare pokes.
     
    I just bought Emerald yesterday in preparation for D/P. So far, I have a LVL 17 Combusken, a LVL 16 Shroomish and a LVL 12 Taillow. It's a pretty sh*tty team so far. I'm thinking of scrapping Taillow for something else, because it sucks right now.
     
    I havent done anything as I dont own any version apart from Diamond right now. And it'll probably stay that way. If I did own them, then I would have probably started moving my Pokemon to one game and creating level 5s for transferring to complete the National Dex.
     
    Breed more eevee for Leavia and Glacia. I have all the eon with at least 393 stat in its speciality. So maybe i'll breed eevee for leafia from my flareon/arcanine(31 ivs atk ^^), and fo glacia from espeon/jolteon(both 30 ivs in SA) while hoping get shiny o_o
     
    Hmm... <thinks> I suppose I should breed to get all the starters (Kanto, Jhoto and Hoenn) and any rare Pokemon like Porygon or Togepi.
    I might consider leveling up my Legendaries.

    Since it'll be a long while before D/P is released in Europe, I'll have plenty of time to prepare. <chuckles>
     
    I moved all of my top Pokemon to Emerald and breeding those Pokemon and catching more Pokemon

    :t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~
     
    Worked on a MovesetDex, mainly to be used for myself. I might send it off to GameFaqs when it's finished.

    Also, as far as in-game go, I'm picking to see what Pokemon I want to give away, because once D/P is out, I'll be training all of my stuff over again except for the ones I decide to keep, which isn't going to be too many.
     
    I was going to restart my Sapphire(Level 72 Xatu, Level 73 Kyogre, Level 96 Blaziken) and LeafGreen(all level 100 starters), but my brother lost those, so now all we have left are his R(40-60)S(45-55)E(100) games. (He has all 3 of that generation, just like I have all 3 of the first generation) Months before this, however, this same brother also lost his FireRed(45-60), and before that, his first Crystal(Level 87 Dodrio) game. So I cannot leave my preparations for D/P with him, which means I will probably be out buying LG,FR (So I have that set, and probably with the money my brother owes me for losing my games), and either Diamond or Pearl, as well as a DS. (D/P and DS with own money)

    Tried for a shiny ralts, but after 2302 births, I gave up -.-
    Click to expand...

    Woah...that's a lot of try's. I've yet to meet a shiny Pokemon.

    Anyway, I have not made any prep. for D/P. I'm thinking of just buying then playing D/P without tradeing anything inbetween the games, at least not for a while anyway.
     
    I'll temporaly bring my Regis for getting Regigigas. Also, I'll bring some Pokémon like Magneton, Rhydon, Gligar, etc...xD
     
    In preparation, I tried for a shiny Deoxys...and succeded. However it has an Impish nature (+Def, -Sp. Atk for anyone who doesn't know) so now it NEEDS to go to D/P.
     
    I've caught every Pokemon I could for Emerald, minus Latios, the Mudkip and Torchic evolution lines, and Delcatty. I'll start over after I get my DS and Diamond and trade everyone over to it. I'll then trade Emerald for Ruby/Sapphire(Whatever have Lunatone, Surskit, Zangoose and Roselia)
     
    I traded all my strongest lvl 100's to emerald, but im not going to trade then to d/p unless i really need them in real life battles, for the game itself im just going to start from scratch, make it a new adventure.
